It's based on how good you are I think. I'm sure the management at T-Mobile used to despair when Jan Ullrich would turn up at training camp in January about ten kilos over his race weight. If he got on the podium at the Tour, it would be forgotten until the following year.
If you're a domestique then I think it would be a factor when it came to contract renewal time.
Betancur is clearly gifted, but he needs to manage his weight better if he's ever going to live up to his potential.

Never thought before, but does a pro-cycling contract of that level include a body fat ratio that the rider needs to stick to or is it all based on trust?
